Base Class: Warlock
You are faced with the radiant light of the Sun himself, as he places his warm hand on your shoulder and smiles. "You are to become the morning and evening star" he says to you. You awake in a sweat, the warmth still felt in your shoulder. In your hand now lies the Ankh, symbol of the Gods. You have longed wished to become something greater, and someone answered the call: Ra.
Ra has given you the power to take on the aspect of Gods in the Heliopolis. The next time you sleep, you are greeted with the visages of Horus, Bastet, and Sekhmet. They offer their assistance and aspects for you to use as you need. As a bonus action, your body changes form as you adjust to the appearance of the God whose aspect you've summoned, and you feel their powers become your own. As you level, and prove yourself worthy, more Gods will provide their aspects to you and assist you on your journey to become a great leader.
Aspect of the Gods
Level 1 Feature
As a Bonus Action, you activate one of your aspects and take on the appearance of its respective God (the head of a jackal for Anubis, cat for Bastet, crocodile for Sobek, etc.) and receive their blessing. At level 1 you are able to wear an aspect twice a day, and they replenish after a long rest. This increases to 3 at 6th level, 4 at 11th level, and finally 5 at 16th level. As a Bonus Action, you can shed your godly aspect and dismiss it. In doing so, you also dismiss its corresponding blessing. You cannot dismiss an aspect and activate a new one in the same Bonus Action. You can wear your aspect for an amount of hours equal to your warlock level divided by 3 rounded down (min 1). If your race is nonhuman, your head will instead take on certain attributes that you see fit (dragonborn jackal head has dragon scales, Owlin beak changes to an ibis', kobolds faces become adorned with feathers, etc.)
On top of being able to speak common, your relationship with the gods has granted you the Celestial language.
